Built On New Ford Transit Chassis and Shipping
Immediately To Pet Groomers Everywhere!

The new Dyna Groom mobile pet grooming
van is the second new model introduced by the company in
the last 12 months. “We constantly strive to stay ahead
of the curve” said Wag’n Tails President Dennis Gnetz,
“and our Dyna Groom is one more prime example of that
philosophy.”

The Dyna Groom van fills an important space in the Wag’n
Tails van offerings, between the smaller Ultra Groom van
and the diesel powered Endurance Sprinter models.

Wag’n Tails CFO, Chuck Perry commented “when Ford Motor
Company stopped producing the E350 platform we employed
to convert almost 1000 Pet Pro Vans, we were ready. We
immediately introduced the Ultra Groom van built on the
Dodge Promaster to fill that void in our lineup. It’s
hard to believe that was almost a year ago.”

Perry continued, “We anxiously awaited Ford’s
introduction of the Transit van and it was worth the
wait! Our new Dyna Groom on the Transit is nothing short
of Fantastic!”

The Dyna Groom Van is spacious with 6’ 6” of headroom,
nearly vertical walls and it’s about 2 feet longer than
the Pet Pro Van. New features include Cree LED lighting
technology to virtually eliminate shadowing, fully
enclosed cabinetry, an available 2nd grooming station
and all the other amenities groomers love and have come
to expect in their Wag’n Tails vans like refrigerators,
Clipper Vacs, battery inverter systems, stereos and much
more.

“Our Dyna Groom van was a hit at the Barkleigh
Intergroom Show last week in New Jersey and sales have
already exceeded our wildest expectations” said Gnetz.
“Our assembly line is loaded with Dyna Groom vans and we
are producing them to meet heavy demand for them” he
concluded.
Wag’n Tails grooming conversion lineup now includes 4
vans and a trailer to meet the needs of any mobile
groomer in terms of size, price, comfort and efficiency.
Ford Motor Credit Company offers Dyna Groom financing
packages with rates as low as 2.9% available to
qualified clients and a secure, on-line application for
financing is conveniently on the home page of the Wag’n
Tails website.

22 unit fleet of vans-we have the expertise to lead you on a path to
success. We are changing lives one groomer at a time every single

Tag-Along Mobile Grooming Trailers

In 1975 Mobile Grooming was in its
infancy. About the only way to “Go Mobile” was to design and build a
unit yourself. That’s exactly what we did and we’ve been building
them every since! With over 35 years of mobile grooming experience
our founders are true pioneers in the mobile pet grooming industry. Over the
years we have watched as this segment of Pet Grooming has grown
extremely popular. The basic mobile shops of yester-year have been
replaced with a trend toward fancy and exorbitantly expensive mobile
salons. Our economy-minded philosophy has always been to keep your
overhead low so that more profits belong to the business owner.
There should be no need to spend ten upon tens of thousands of
dollars to have a modern, efficient, comfortable and classy looking
unit. The Better Business Bureau sites one reason for early business
failure as “high debt”. So to accelerate your chances for success
you should strive to own a low cost, efficient trailer such as ours
to meet this sensible goal. It’s fully equipped, compact and
lightweight with plenty of top quality components. Please take a few
minutes to research what we have to offer and then contact us and
let us help make your dreams a reality for less cost than you
thought possible.

security and peace of mind.

Whether you run a
mobile grooming business or have a more traditional
brick and mortar salon, your customers love bringing
their pets to you. Of course, you are careful and have
been expertly trained, but your sharp instruments and
the unpredictable nature of animals can lead to vet
bills that you may have to pay.

Starting a mobile
grooming business typically involves less cash outlay than a
commercial location. Most of the cash outlay is required for the
down payment on the mobile vehicle, but you need to have some cash
reserves while you grow the business adequate to cover your
expenses, and start-up expenses.

You do need to investigate licenses
carefully. Sometimes you need to get local approval from each city,
town or county you groom in the form of a license or permit. Also,
some housing associations may prohibit storing your vehicle in the
driveway of your neighborhood. Often these associations consider
commercial vehicles, especially those with custom lettering, to be
an unsightly disturbance to the other members of the neighborhood
association.

Do
your homework for your business! You may be obligating yourself to a
significant loan financing your purchase of a new or used vehicle.
Protect your investment and ensure you clearly understand what your
business needs to earn to cover its operating expenses, and the
amount of net operating income (prior your salary or draw) it needs
to earn in order to provide you with a personal income from the
business income. The old saying, "It's not what you make, but what
you keep" that clearly describes your goal in preparing a sales
forecast and income and expense projection.

Some banks and auto financing firms
absolutely require a business plan before they make a loan. It's no
small task but perhaps the most important task to protect your
investment in your business. You will need to project your business
sales income for 3 to 5 years in advance from the day you open for
business (see graph above). Then you will need to project the
operating expenses and deduct them from your projected sales income
thereby giving you an estimate of what personal income you can
expect to earn from your business (see graph below). Going into
business in the dark without knowing what you can expect to earn in
sales and personal income is an unacceptable risks to banks or
investors, and for good reason.

The chart above shows some
retail sales income. There are
mobile groomers that sell flea
and tick treatments, brushes,
combs, toys and treats. Holistic
food is also growing in
popularity. Many pet owners
desire the savings of buying the
bulk bags but have little or no
means of carrying the bag; the
mobile groomer can.

How much do you need to
invest? That's another
question that must be
answered with financial
planning. Fortunately mobile
grooming businesses are
known for reasonable
start-up costs involving
cash outlay compared to a
commercial locations. You
don't have to deal with
leasehold improvements like
flooring, tiling, plumbing,
carpentry and electricity.
In some commercial locations
leasehold improvements can
cost as much or more than
the cost of a new van or
trailer.

The graph below shows the start-up
funding required for a mobile business purchasing a new van. The
business could be new or turning in an old van for a new one. The
mobile owner requires about $58,000 in "start-up assets" and $3,000
for start-up expenses. Every business owner learns basic financial
terms and you definitely need to know the difference between an
"asset" and "expense." In accounting and tax reporting your assets
and expenses are handled quite differently.

Suffice to say that assets for a mobile
grooming business is major equipment like the vehicle and its
contents. Start-up expenses are easy to understand. They have a
short lifetime and include grooming supplies, small tools and
equipment, advertising, stationery, licenses, and fees to name just
a few. Refer to the chart below once more.

We know the groomer requires $61,000 to
cover the purchases of assets and expenses, and some of that asset
amount should be cash reserved because you run a new a business at a
loss for several months until the clientele and demand increases.

The chart tells us that the groomer
plans to seek a loan (light yellow) of $48,000 and her investment of
her own money (light blue) will be $13,000.

If you require a bank loan or investor
they are going to want to know exactly how much of an investment you
need and how much you are personally putting up of your own money.
Don't proceed without knowing the numbers, and have them
well-documented. You are certain to be asked for that documentation.
If you don't have it you will be perceived as being naive about the
conduct required to start-up a business. It's okay to be naive now,
but start learning more today.

There's another very common question
someone is likely to ask you. Again, don't venture into business
seeking loans or investors without knowing your projected "breakeven
point." Below you will find the breakeven table for the groomer
opening a home business above.

Figures generated by Pet
Grooming Business Plan
Helper & Sampler,
a Grooming Business in a
Box® product.
Copyright 2007-2012 Find A
Groomer Inc. All rights

Do you understand the figures?
It's not too hard to figure it out once you know your projected
average service fee for grooming services you expect in your
business, and what your fixed costs are. Fixed costs can include
interest payments on your loans to start-up the business, supplies,
utilities etc.

In the example above the new business owner knows her
business requires $2,142 a month to meet its fixed costs of
operation. Because she knew her average grooming fee would be $46.37
it was easy to divide that number into the fixed costs of $2,142.
The result is 46 services. In other words, the mobile groomer must groom 46 pets a month to meet
costs of running the business. In this case, 46 pet services does
not include personal income for the mobile owner
(unless a small base salary was included in the in the $2,142 amount).

Impress others by sharing your
break-even point. Now consider this question. Isn't it easy to
count the number of pets you groom as you work through a month?
Sure. Knowing that you must groom at least 46 pets to meet
break-even is an easy way to track your progress at any time during
the month. You will be better prepared should you not meet your
goal, or to celebrate when you exceed your goal and start boosting
your profit.

There's no simpler way to write a
professional mobile grooming business plan suitable to present to
banks than with Pet Grooming Business Plan Helper & Sampler. In
fact, one of the sample plans is a mobile groomer start-up plan for
Doorstep Mobile Grooming. No one else has ever released similar
information and tools customized to the needs of pet groomers. Take
